Mission Statement
Our mission is to INSPIRE, EDUCATE, and ENGAGE young leaders, empowering them to transform the lives of the poor through microfinance.
Description
We are a community of young professionals and students who have decided to do SOMETHING to support microfinance. How you choose to get involved is up to you - whether that means signing up for the YAO mailing list, becoming a Next2Nothing monthly giver, committing to be an Opportunity Advocate in your school or workplace, or holding an informational event or fundraiser. YAO chapters also exist across the US and in the UK. Our common thread is that, as a group of young people, we are committed to building a movement that will change the world.
Organizational Statement of Faith
The Opportunity Mission is to provide opportunities for people in chronic poverty to improve their lives. The Opportunity Strategy is to create jobs, stimulate small businesses and strengthen communities among the poor. The Opportunity Method is to work through our indigenous partners to provide microfinance services, training and counsel. The Opportunity Motivation is the call of Jesus to serve the poor. The Opportunity Commitment is to serve men and women of all faiths and no faith. The Opportunity Core
